About this book
Bone Gap is a young adult novel set in a small, rural Midwestern town known for its many gaps, literal and metaphorical. The story centers on Finn, an 18-year-old outsider who is the only witness to the abduction of Roza, a popular young woman in the town. Finn knows Roza was taken by a dangerous man whose face he cannot recall, and he struggles to convince the townspeople of the truth while Roza is held captive. The novel, a National Book Award finalist and Printz Award winner, blends realistic drama with elements of magical realism.
